Crescent Lake

Headed out again last weekend to Crescent Lake, starting only about 5-10 miles from the trail we took with Brigit. This time we went with Pat and Jenny, two of Beth's coworkers, their dog Danny, and our landlords' dog Maui, who we borrowed for the weekend. The weather forecasts were pretty dire, but it ended up mostly just raining at night, so we were able to get out in a rowboat a bit, do some fishing for Arctic Grayling, play with the dogs, build fires and generally have some good old fashioned fun. As a bonus, we stopped by a stream on the way out where we could see a bunch of salmon making their way upstream to spawn. At this point in their journey, the salmon are basically inedible zombie-fish, but they look really cool with the classic red and green coloring and hooked jaws.



When it rains, the dry firewood's up in the trees.

Beth was a rowing machine!
Maui loved her time out in the woods. Good to get off the leash for a couple of days!

Jenny and Pat with some of our Grayling dinner which they caught. Delicious.
